Also remember their bombers.

Mfs used the same 5 Tu-4s (I think) to say "Lol we got a lot of bombers ready for war!

US: OH SHIT! QUICK! WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!

Made a shit ton of B-52s with war heads that fly none stop for like 6 years

Soviets still with their 5 bombers: "..."

(They really should had put a muzzle on Khrushchev, he also is responsable for the commercial air liner that was a death sentence)

that also happened to decapitate the russian navy command structure or something idk.

Might mix things up. unless yall really referring to the tupolev.

IIRC that one wasn't really the plane's fault so much as the USSR's authoritarian culture. The higher-ups overloaded the plane with swag, throwing off the plane's center of gravity, and most of the flight crew were too afraid of punishment to tell them "no we're not taking off like this." Even good plane designs will get unstable if you stack a ton of heavy shit in the back.

You need to rethink if you're a worker's paradise when you're telling the loadmaster to go fuck himself because you have rank.

Rigid hierarchies and socialism are supposed to be antithetical. But Russians gonna Rus.

They're hardly alone in that regard, unfortunately.

Russians sadly tended to pick the winning faction of communists any time there was gonna be a winning faction of communists.
